Notes

Date Caramel: Here is the recipe for my homemade Date Caramel. The reserved water from soaking the dates is used in this recipe. See the Date Caramel recipe for details.
Substitution option for reserved date caramel water: if you accidentally threw out the water, or want to skip the date caramel, you can replace the leftover date water with 1 cup of boiling water mixed with 2 tbsp maple syrup.
